American Pit Bull Terrier puppies and dogs in Sedro Woolley, Washington

Adrianna came to us at 6 weeks old with her mama and two siblings. She quickly was given the nickname Batgirl, not only for her amazing ears, but her climbing and jumping abilities. She is the trailblazer in the litter with unstoppable confidence. She loves to play, but also can be found sitting quietly and observing her people. Watching us cook dinner is one of her favorite things to do. She is an adventurous and independent, but also loves snuggling up to her mama and siblings.

Zelda is such a cutie girl! Yes, she really does look like she has on a little tuxedo, or maybe some little white socks! This girl is so sweet and friendly. She loves all people, she did well with a cat, and she enjoyed playing ball in the yard with other pups. Ball is her FAVORITE game! She loves to play fetch, but she’s still learning how to bring it back to you. She carries the ball around like a little baby with a pacifier— it’s just too cute to handle! Are you ready to meet your new partner in crime? Watch her here: https://youtu.be/1sj9S5ohoQU?si=VvB8F0YViLZp-hVA Zelda is still living her best care free puppy life, and will need a family with time to teach her new tricks! Right now in her foster home with her sister, she is currently working on her basic commands. Zelda is already so smart, we know that training will be fun for her (and you!) Zelda comes from a part of the U.S. where puppies are regularly euthanized, so adopting this puppy will help us save another in her place. Zelda is a little slow to open up to doggy friends initially, but trust me, it doesnt take her very long! She will be showing you her goofy side quickly. Especially if you have a fun bouncy tennis ball! Zelda simply just doesnt like to be rushed when meeting doggies she doesnt know, and we cant blame her! You can tell that she wanted to play with the other dogs, but she just wasnt sure how to yet. One thing about Zelda is that she loves toys! Sometimes we'll even catch her stealing a toy from other dogs. If Zelda is to be adopted out with other dogs, it would be best for her to be adopted out with another dog that doesn't really care much for toys-- and for toy time to be supervised so everyone can enjoy the toys. We think Zelda would definitely benefit from having a doggy sibling in the home to help her build some confidence. Zelda got to meet a kitty here at the rescue, and she did wondefully! She didnt really care for him at all, and if you have kitties at home, you know thats what we want! Although we have not seen Zelda with kids yet, with her size and calm energy, we think Zelda would enjoy the company of older kids. We are happy to test her with anything you may need.

For heartworm-positive dogs, hard costs are upwards of $1,368.

Also, included in the adoption fee are costs to cover transport up to the Pacific Northwest or East Coast. Transport is a significant additional expense to the rescue. While adoption fees help cover part of these expenses, we want to emphasize that the rescue does not receive government funding and must fundraise to offset the remaining expense balance which ranges $100-1,000++ per animal on these direct costs.

**Fostered in Kirkland, WA and ready for meet and greets** Meet Otto — the compact gentleman with a heart full of sunshine! Estimated to be around 6 years old, Otto is a black-and-white pittie/staffy mix who’s the perfect blend of easygoing, joyful, and downright lovable. At just 52 lbs, he’s a great medium-sized companion who fits perfectly into almost any home. Otto is a dream on leash and loves his walks—being outside is his happy place. He’s a curious boy who enjoys watching whatever his human is up to, always with that soft, thoughtful look on his face. Training time? That’s his moment to shine. Otto lights up when asked to show what he knows or learn something new, offers impressive focus, and takes his treats with the gentlest little nibble. Looking for a work-from-home buddy? Otto has you covered. He’s an excellent mix of independence and companionship—able to entertain himself when you’re busy and ready to lend an oversized ear when you need a break. He’s great with other dogs, especially calm personalities like his own. He’d love a chill companion to sunbathe or snooze beside, but he’s just as content soaking up life as an only dog. No cats for this guy, though. Otto has been kid-tested and passed with flying colors. Whether it’s kids stomping around pretending to be dinosaurs or a baby fussing nearby, he stays gentle, relaxed, and unbothered. His ideal home would have a yard where he can stretch his legs or settle in for his favorite activity—sunbathing. And if you find him rolled onto his back with a goofy grin… that’s your cue. Belly rub required. Otto’s foster family has adored spoiling him, and he’s settled in beautifully. Now he’s ready to bring that same gentle joy, curiosity, and companionship to his forever home. Otto is ready to meet his person—could it be you? Message kathleen@threelittlepittiesrescue.org with any questions!

Atari is the lover of all people, if he could be cuddled up, taking a nap all day with his humans he would be. He is a sweet lover boy and a total goofball. Atari is such a good boy he loved to get pet and cuddled with the whole time we spent with him. Atari is currently in a foster home with five other dogs and an amazing Foster who he loves so much. They cuddle up together and take naps all the time it’s Atari’s favorite thing to do. He also loves to play with toys. It’s when you really see the goof in him come out. Check out Attari’s video to see his goofy side https://youtu.be/Z_vJOzEkIF4?si=dPu4hfC1GKORkc3a Atari is a pitbull mix, around four years old, and 53 pounds. He is so handsome and loves to sleep curled up in a ball. It is adorable. Atari met a couple of our dogs today and did amazing meeting all of them. He didn’t play too much except for one of our very hyper male dogs. They played for a little and ran together. It was so adorable. He does play with his foster siblings and loves having fun rolling around with other dogs. Atari is really more of a people person, when all the other dogs were playing he was standing next to us waiting for pets or exploring the yard sniffing around. Atari would do great in a home with other dogs or by himself because he would so love to have all the cuddles to himself. Atari should not live in a home with cats. He finds them way too interesting and gets super excited meeting them, which is a little too much for cats. Atari has not yet been kid tested, but we do believe he would do great around kids. He does jump a quite bit, so preferably older kids that can stand their own ground. Atari is such a fun lover boy and is waiting for the perfect home. He could bring so much laughter, light and joy into a home. He just needs a chance. Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

NOW FOSTERED IN Topsham, ME Love a dog with personality? A big-hearted, ball-chasing, couch-cuddling, zoomie-having goofball who thinks she’s a lap dog? Meet Cupcake - a sweet name for a girl with an appetite for fun. Cupcake is that lovable friend who always brings the sunshine to the party. One of my favorite things about her is the way she plays with a tennis ball! She’ll toss a tennis ball around like some kind of circus act, catch it in the air, then promptly hop up on the couch and roll around with her ball. If you happen to be sitting there then even better, she is going to melt into your lap, with the full weight of a 53-pound cuddlebug, all while still while holding that ball in her mouth. Affectionate doesn’t even begin to cover it. She’ll lean in for pets, climb into your lap on the couch, and gently nudge your hand just to say “Hey! You. I love you.” Take a look at her video, you'll see what we mean. https://youtu.be/MEiYn6r0_Dg Still in her teenage dog years, Cupcake is learning the ropes of balancing her fun-loving side with the polite life. She has been trained on a gentle leader leash, which she walks well with. Without a gentle leader she does pull but this can be addressed with practice or continuing to utilize the gentle leader. Cupcake can let her excitement show while on leash when passing dogs and people, but it’s all out of excitement, not aggression. She just wants to meet everybody, and she hasn’t quite learned how to channel that enthusiasm yet. Yet is the key word! Cupcake is super dog-friendly and loves to play, especially with dogs who match her energy. She greets with full-body wiggles but she can read when a dog is not interested in playing and backs off. One of her best friends is a dog named Bambi, a petite, long legged little lady, and the two of them roll around like a couple of happy toddlers in the backyard. She responds well to gentle corrections and is eager to please her humans. So yes to dogs but it’ll be no cats in the home for Cupcake. We anticipate her love of chase would not stop with cats once she feels comfortable. She would make a wonderful family dog, older kids who won’t mind her bouncy greetings and occasional nudges and mouthy “hello’s.” Cupcake has been fully kid tested, even spending a weekend with some kiddos! She loved everyone in the house, but you could always find her with the kiddos. She’s just a natural! The kids loves cupcake too, playing with her, sharing the same seat with her, watching movies together, sharing snacks— you name it, they had a blast doing it. A house with a yard would be the best fit for her ball-chasing and bouncing around with her new doggie friend or racing the kids. For the right family, she’ll be everything you want in a dog: loyal, loving, entertaining, and always up for a snuggle. This girl is a gem and she is ready and waiting to be yours! Questions?
